What were some features of their governance? Class 8

Answer:

The Marathas followed a well-organised system of rule. Shivaji made sure officials were honest, ended old unfair rules, and built strong forts for protection. He formed a group of eight ministers to help in governance and worked for the welfare of all people, no matter of their religion. They implemented a periodic transfer system for many officials to control their powers and prevent exploitation. Shivaji even gave pensions and offered jobs in the military to the wives and sons of the soldiers who died in battle.
